I think the tow-truck driver showed remarkable agility and presence of mind.

yeah, I saw that a couple of months ago, Omar. Notice the tow truck driver getting out in time. The truck driver (who was stuck in the snow and needed the tow in Norway), suffered a few broken bones, nothing more than that.

Hey Greg.. Long time.. no posty.. What's up?

not much, been playing with watches recently, pulled one apart and replaced the crystal, dial and hands, except the second hand which I had trouble fitting. So I packed it away to tackle another day. So that counts as half a refurbishment job.

Been reading a lot and hitting the sheets early.

I know! He must have had his seatbelt on... tow truck driver, clearly not, or very quick reactions!

I know a guy who's into hang gliding. After watching some of his videos and photo galleries, I think I just might be brave enough to try that. I'm still not ready to jump *out* of a plane, though... :shock:

My sister went hang gliding in Rio, Brazil. She is nuts! Showed me the pictures of her running off a mountain cliff and gliding away. I cant bring myself to even contemplate doing that! But i will gladly jump out of a plane. Go figure :lol:
